J Reno - Money Power Respect
It's the money, the power, respect
★ Verse 1: J Reno ★
Yo, we slave away on the daily just to earn a bit (yeah)
Go into debt young in hopes that we can learn some shit (uh huh)
Develop a relevant skill and then earn with it
Try to get some work in and search for something permanent
Waste our whole life doing shit that we don't like
Just to avoid cold nights, keep the heat and the lights
Yeah, we worship it, some are doing dirt for it
The cops will turn a blind eyе to crime if you worth a bit
Many men have diеd trying to get it, died trying to defend it
When you dead you can't spend it
Man done spill the blood of his man because he needed it
A pocketful can turn a honest man into a piece of shit
Some will sell you poison daily just to feed his kids
It ain't hard to figure out where the evil is
These human beings were misled something major
Trees provide the air but we only see the paper
Fuck it!
★ Chorus: J Reno ★
It's the money, the power, respect devour
There's no love, yeah, there's only pain
And personal gain, this is how we were trained
It's the money, the power, respect devour
There's no love, yeah, there's only pain
And personal gain, this is how we were trained
Fuck money!
★ Verse 2: J Reno ★
We hungry for it and we hate those who possess it
Pass judgment on those who represent it
Yeah we all craving opportunity presented
Control and pull the analysts' incentives
Once you have it you tend to let it control you
Mold you, out here doing shit that you don't do
It makes you think less of your peers who stay beneath you
To those with open minds, your strengths are only see through
A lot of uniformed people throw they weight around
Abuse it when they lay it out even when they lay you down
Taught at a young age those with it make decisions
It's only now I realize it wasn't meant to be given
What's different we all flesh and blood
Well I guess it only come around with topic number one (Fuck money)
Broken people don't possess any in these hours
Darkness, hearts been poisoned by power
★ Chorus: J Reno ★
It's the money, the power, respect devour
There's no love, yeah, there's only pain
And personal gain, this is how we were trained
It's the money, the power, respect devour
There's no love, yeah, there's only pain
And personal gain, this is how we were trained
Fuck money!
★ Verse 3: J Reno ★
Last but not least it's the one we all demand
From one another but never directed at the man
You don't need money or power to possess it
A lot of different methods are exercised to get it
Some get it by force, violence, and fear
Most of us just earn it here amongst peers
Some use for leverage, some show none
Some search for it the honest way, some use guns
Some pride themselves off it, some don't want it
A lot of people need to show themselves some if they got it
Politicians got none for you, neither does the constable
You can get killed if you don't show it when they talk to you
If someone lose it for you you never get it back
It's what everyone deserves and yet what everybody lack
We use it as a means to keep each other in check
I even wrote this rhyme right here to pay respect
